Found grille for tl!

I finally found a grille for the 04-08 tl's. It's basically ust pre cut mesh, but for $50 shipped is it worth it...you be the judge?

That stuff has been on Ebay for years. You're going to have to take out the grille slats that are already there and fasten this grille in. Ebay grilles all rust unless you are so sure that this is made of aluminum. (technically aluminum can oxidize too, at least it doesn't turn orange.)

Your best bet is to use purpose-built powder-coated mesh like I have on my car. The stuff is awesome, OEM quality and stands up to the elements over the long run

1) $50 shipped It says $29 with free shipping.
2) It attaches with wire ties.
3) The only upside is you don't have to cut your cross bar to install it.
4) Point #3 doesn't justify spending :twocents: on this.
